How can I find my old pictures?

LOLOLOLOL Chelsea I was thinking Moonies run must be the largest last night, although Egluntines is very big as well if I remember rightly.

 

I dread to think how many bags of aubiose that will take Monnie... LOLOL

[RosemarysBaby]

Beautifully big run won't even ask how much that set you back i can imagine lol Some of you guys have really amazing runs mine looks tiny in comparison

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Don't worry, Rosemary, ours may be small but they're perfectly formed .

Thanks! You prob remember my last one cookie?! It got really boggy and horrible down there, it was also inundated with pigeons eating their food so made the decison to have a wir, and it's fab, bit like your lovely one.

You must b well pleased

I've been watching everyone's runs with interest and look what OH built for me from scratch :dance:

It was great to gather ideas from everyone and it has really paid off.

The girls love their new palace

Now it just needs a name

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Wow, that's fabulous . What a brilliant OH you have (watch out, Tony ). Love the details like the gaps for the poo trays so you don't even have to open a flap .

 

I've watched the slideshow on Photobucket - your little piccies don't do it justice .

[chelsea]

wow Smanners... that is lovely. Your OH is very handy with a saw

[Moonie]

It is a bit big isn't it! Think i got a bit carried away with the measurements, can't be the biggest though is it?!?!

Cookie its 3 x bags of aubiouse (sp) btw!

I love looking at all your lovely runs, it's what inspired me to finally make the decision to get one, and i love it!

[mostin]

That's a gorgeous run Smanners, well done to you and your OH .

[Moonie]

Smammers your run is lovely, you have a very clever husband. My husband threatened to build me one, but i was a little apprehensive bless him, he's a bit of a bodge it harry!!

[Seagazer]

Lovely run Smanners - what a clever OH you have

[smanners]

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Yes I'm very lucky OH is very practical and I was able to show him some of the pictures of runs in this thread to give him the ideas and detail.

He managed to put it together (evenings/weekend) in less than a week but to be fair he does enjoy this kind of project

Ideally I would have liked an even bigger WIR so as to have even more chooks but he wanted a vegetable patch so I settled for a smaller one.

I suppose I could hire him out and make a few pounds to put towards my dream smallholding with chooks, alpacas and cats

All except the cats it's sounds like a dream to me well maybe not alpacas either lol goats and wee piggies I am still scared of being pecked by my chickens lmao Your run looks amazing girl! your very lucky as are the girls. Are the hy-lines the ex bats? they look identical to my girls excpet mine look like they want to eat me and chase me round the garden your girls all look friendly x Beautiful grden by the way aswell loads of space

[smanners]

Yes the 3 orange ladies( including my favorite chook posing in the run) are my beautiful ex-batts. I also have Pumpkin, a nova ranger (I think thats what she is ) They are definately the boldest and friendliest of all my girls The least friendly is Spex (silver nova) she can be very rude sometimes swearing and cussing at me and her companions

Yes the garden is a fair size but nowhere near the acres I dream of for loads of hens

oh i hear ye! I have only had my girlies 2 weeks tmrw actually but already dreams of farmland entering my head i used to work on a small holding was horses mainly and goats ,ducks and geese which used to attack so did goats mind you lol few head butts to get my cheese and onion crisps lol

 

Hoping for a super large lottery win big enough to give lump to charity and still buy land and house and have my live stock that would be fandabbydosey

[RosemarysBaby]

The ex batts are looking lovely i have to say feathers look great usually ones i have seen are bare almost pure shame amazing what people do to animals in order to make money

[smanners]

They were a bit oven ready to begin with but not nearly as bad as some I've seen

Jump had a huge moult soon after we got her and walked around in the freezing weather semi naked/like a porcupine for weeks They were very spoilt though and got tuna and the expensive Smallholder ex-batt food. I really worried about her but now her newly grown outfit is simply stunning

These 3 hens definately won the lottery

I can't really keep more than 6 hens i don't think the council never made it exactly clear how many i can keep but they said not too many as in not huge flock but they weren't completely clear i am too scared to phone back and ask for definitive numbers incase they have changed their mind and tell me to get rid of so tops i would have 7 i think but not sure i am ready to take on ex batts still freaking out about everything with these ones took me 30 mins to read and understand flubenvet instructions this morning due to my freaking out lol After i get used to my girls i will get a few more was hoping for a silkie or 2 but will have to wait for my trusted breeder to get some.

 

Kudos to everyone taking on the ex batts really lifts the heart to know people care enough xxx

[RosemarysBaby]

Slight modification which needs more modifying lol gotta patch up the mesh used the eglu run door to fill big hole (behind plant) got smaller bits for the bit covered with tarp at moment but getting there.

 

Looking for more ideas to make it a bit more exciting inside for the girls definitely needs some branches and stuff in it and quite possibly could add another part to run to add more room via the back (at later date) which could hook up with the brown house not sure how long the eglu will accomodate all four girls since the Hylines are already quite big at 5 mths and the babies got alot more growing to do

 

 

THE GIRLS SUNBATHING

 

MY DAUGHTER VERITY AND LEELOO LUCKILY THE COAT DIDN'T GET POO'D ON THIS OCCASION ANYWAY

I'm getting really impatient now.

 

 

Looking at Moonie's run hasn't helped. It is also built by Tony and it is a similar width to ours.

 

 

I keep flitting to the aviaries4u website to look at a similar run. It should be a bit like the top one.

Be patient the wait is worth the end product! Tony's runs look amazing i couldn't afford one even after the run price, to get it couriered was like £85

[Janty]

Tony is delivering ours and building it as we live within his area.

 

We have promised him a constant supply of tea and a big fat free range bacon buttie (it's the Northerner in me coming out ).

I vaguely remember bacon sarnies i remember they tasted soooooooooo goooooood lol i haven't eaten bacon in about 9 yrs (i married a muslim) lol believe me fake bacon ie: quorn style bacon slices "NOT THE SAME "

 

It is a bummer sometimes being in scotland everything seems to be in england when it comes to being within delivery areas and breeders areas they are few and far between here Ironically enough there seems to be a great one in buckinghamshire where my husband lived prior to me forcing him over to scotland
